It was not until the 16th century that rackets came into use, and the game began to be called "tennis”. ]]> 2020-04-30 15:43:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mariavictoriaverdura/Tennis/wish/542346186 What is this sport? mariavictoriaverdura https://padlet.com/mariavictoriaverdura/Tennis/wish/542378257 Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). It could be played outdoors or indoors. Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. 
The object of the game is to maneuver the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will. ]]> 2020-04-30 15:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mariavictoriaverdura/Tennis/wish/542378257 Equipment mariavictoriaverdura https://padlet.com/mariavictoriaverdura/Tennis/wish/542391488 •ball
